Priorities: You've Got Them Wrong, Russia

Whether Prince Charles was correct or appropriate in what he said, it is clear he had a defensible point.

Hitler's annexations of the Sudentenland and Austria were ostensibly to protect native Germans from provocations that were largely engineered by the Nazis themselves.

Putin's annexation of Crimea was ostensibly to protect native Russians from provocations that were largely engineered by the previous, corrupt Russophilic regime.

However, an lets be clear on this, if HRH's comments "risk triggering an international scandal", what exactly is the result of Russia's illegal invasion and occupation of Crimea and interference in Eastern Ukraine? Mild shivers?

Really, really pissed off at the endemic stupidity of the British governing cliques. Sometimes lets his potty mouth get the better of him.
